UK moves staff at Tel Aviv embassy to elsewhere in Israel amid 'regional tensions'

The United Kingdom has temporarily relocated some diplomatic staff and their dependents from its embassy in Tel Aviv to another location within Israel, citing rising regional tensions. The Foreign Office said the move was a precautionary measure, while the embassy continues to operate as normal.

In updated travel guidance, officials warned that the situation could escalate quickly and poses significant risks. The decision reflects growing concern about security conditions in the region.

Earlier the same day, Britain also withdrew its embassy staff from Iran due to what it described as the current security situation, signaling heightened caution across multiple postings in the region.
